Yes, it would be. On a side note three flags from the group was a good return.

Well put, Hogan on the verge of signing is huge but It also signals that the club has finally turned the corner and is no longer the leper of the competition.

Exactly, agree totally. We all love our game and thought something like this could never happen to it, but it has and those that area guilty must be dealt with accordingly. Missing the finals and Hird paid 1mil doesn't cut it.

I don't know all the ins and outs of this, had interest.....lost interest.....have vague interest....But besides the arrogance of Hird the two things that sh#t me to tears are the "no records were kept". Who do they honestly think is buying that. I honestly hope that comes back at them in the form of a rubber fist. The other one is the club Doctor who was so concerned for the players welfare that he wrote an email to Hird then sat on his hands with his back turned......staggering. I feel for the first, second and even third year players, but f#*k me, with all the education these players are subject to, where were the so called leaders of the playing group. How often would these kids been injected whilst playing TAC or equivalent.....none, that's how much, but everyone thought it was alright because their medical staff said so, which medical staff? The club Doctor was cleared. Some random bloke .....???? Give all the senior players two year, take the Brownlow and give it to Cotchin and ban Hird for life. If he isn't in the hall of fame yet he should never be allowed to be.

Yes and no, Port showed on Saturday they are a force, we had out chances but in they end were shown how it's done. Fair to say we may have learnt a bit from that .

I'm there, can't wait. Would like to see an aggressive start.

We lost winnable games against the Saints, Giants and Suns. Admittedly we are more cohesive as a team now. We need a big scalp.

North would be a great start.

What was great about it was it was fair, it hurt the opponent, players aren't used to getting tackled like that, Riley got straight up after laying the tackle and looked for the next contest.

That tackle was brilliant.

Was as at the game tonight, bloody pumped. There's opposition supporters, there's uneducated supporters then there's Essendon supporters. Every passage of every play to some of these people was holding the ball, holding the man, deliberate out of bounds, incorrect disposal...... Carlton and Collingwood have a certain arrogance about them but Bombers supporters have taken the cake. Blatantly no idea about the rules and their ongoing arrogance with regards to the whole drugs saga makes this win even sweeter .

Very winnable game, work has me in Melbourne for a couple of weeks so I'm able to attend the pies/bombers/North games. My mate who is a pies supporter says that nearly every game is a blockbuster of sorts for his team because teams prime themselves for a big one when playing them. Clubs like us, the dogs, North and the saints do this because it's likely to the biggest crowd they will play in front off if we fail to make the finals. I like what Roos has done with changing the players mindset so that the players believe that every game is a winnable game. In years gone by interstate games were lost before boarding the plane, clubs celebrating someone's milestone or a club playing after a coaches sacking or the passing of a club great were a danger game (I know.....ten years of hell every game was a danger game). As we strive to become a dominant club we must accept that every club is a danger game but also a winnable one, not sit back at the start of the year and earmark certain games as winnable and the rest as automatic losses. Had we been playing like we are now from the start of the year we may well have another 2-3 wins. Yes the bombers will come out fighting but we shouldn't be viewing this any differently to any other game. Stick to our process, stick to our structures and do what we have trained to do. I think clubs that do this will be better served in the long run then clubs that come out full of hot air for the 1st qtr and a bit.

Yeah, because JKH had so much time to work himself into the game.

Thanks Redleg. Watching the game live gives people a different perspective of our great game. Rugby league is designed for tv. Update.....we stopped at the merchandise van outside the ground, Melbourne scarfs and beanies we're bought, we might have two more.

My mate and his girlfriend relocated from Sydney last week. Today is their first AFL game, they both want to pick their own team to follow. I've done my part with 2 guest passes to the Redlegs. I look at the hype factor the other way. If we were getting ahead of ourselves we wouldn't be playing like we are. Port would have built on their great start last week and burried us. No excuses today, weather is great, strong team. Momentum is building.

Just touched down in Melbourne and I'm bloody pumped. Massive chance today, good test for our midfield, break even or better there and the game is ours for the taking.

We won't know until an official announcement. Look at Buddy going to the Swans, the only person that picked that was the old lady who rang KB on Hungry for Sport.

All time favourite Mick Malthouse moment is when there's 2 minutes to go in the game, Carlton are getting flogged, the camera cuts to the coaches box so Mick decides to pick up his binoculars as if he's got one move left up his sleeve.

It wasn't that long ago that some people questioned the coaching appointments of Malthouse and Roos, citing both were merely topping up their super. Two very different story now.

Repeat post.

I was wrong about Pedo amongst others. I am happy to sit back and let those in charge do what they think is best for this club.

Repeat post.

Need another big effort from him on Monday. No doubt he will deliver, now for 200 games.

I've missed something, since when is Adelaide in their premiership window ?
